Schaller: Warming up for Fedora Workstation 28
Christian Schaller looksforward to the Fedora 28 release (which will evidently be the first on-time Fedora release ever)."The Spectre/Meltdown situation did hammer home to a lot of peoplethe need to have firmware updates easily available and easy to update. Wecreated the Linux Vendor Firmware service for Fedora Workstation users withthat in mind and it was great to see the service paying off for many Linuxusers, not only on Fedora, but also on other distributions who startedusing the service we provided. I would like to call out to Dell who was acritical partner for the Linux Vendor Firmware effort from day 1 and thustheir users got the most benefit from it when Spectre and Meltdownhit. Spectre and Meltdown also helped get a lot of other vendors off thefence or to accelerate their efforts to support LVFS and Richard Hughes andPeter Jones have been working closely with a lot of new vendors during thiscycle to get support for their hardware and devices into LVFS."
